English term or phrase: couples
Dear all,

I'm wondering what the word "couples"in this context means, does refer to married couple or " a number of"

"A study out of
the University of Pennsylvania found that couples over 50 who took a personality test and demonstrated a strong ability to
stick to long-term goals had saved nearly $200,000 more than the average American household."
for me, the plural here is so misleading

The chapter is about "Saving money" and the is no more context on that.

Thanks.
Thanks.

Couples (plural) mean the number of couples participating in the study. You can also guess from the context from the word (household).

From the word (household), you can guess that it refers to families.

Notes to answerer
Asker: تقصد يمكن ترجمتها "العائلات"؟؟ لأني أيضا استنتجت أن "الأزواج" لا تمت بصلة للموضوع
